From the person who brought you How to have Adobe Flash on your iPhone/iPod Touch (No Jailbreaking Required) (http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/iphone-apps-games/171693-adobe-flash-iphone-available-now-free.html), How to push your Twitter timelines (http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/iphone-apps-games/175000-how-push-twitter-timelines-your-iphone-using-prowl.html), and How to add videos to Photos/send video MMS/trim videos from iPhone 3G (No Jailbreak) (http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/iphone-help/178736-how-add-videos-photos-send-video-mms-trim-videos-iphone-3g-no-jailbreak.html), comes a new app taking advantage of the new APIs in 3.1, Shoot Around.

iTunes Description (LINK (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=333195242&mt=8))

Using the power of the iPhone, you can "shoot" at people/objects around you, with or without them knowing. It shows you a live feed from the camera and allows you to shoot at objects using laser-like projectiles. Simply press the A button to launch a laser missile, or press and hold the B button for rapid fire. Double-tap the screen to go into "Focus Mode". The view will zoom in and a crosshair will appear to help you hit your target more accurately. If you come across something you want to take a picture of, just press both the A and B button to take a picture and save it to your camera roll.

Have an iPod Touch? You don't need to feel left out. On the iPod Touch and iPhone, you have the option to select a photo from your Photo Library and shoot at it to your heart's content. You can pan, zoom, and move the picture around to get the perfect shot. For best results, use photos taken with the iPhone camera (1200x1600, 1600x1200, 1536x2048, 2048x1536) or with a resolution of: 600x800, 800x600, 480x320, or 320x480.

Shoot Around is also one of the first apps in the App Store to allow you to customize the main screen however you want. Choose from Photo Library, Camera (iPhone only), or restore the default background.

iSkythe,

Are the saved photos supposed to have the weapons tracks on them as well?

Should the shots also show up in the photos?

No, when you take a picture it is just a picture from the camera. I tried to implement a way to take a screenshot by tapping the buttons, but the camera feed would never show up in the resulting photo =/

No problem, though it would be a nice feature to have...

I love to support these kids that make apps. I don't have a whole lot of use for it, but I still bought it and shot my cat a few times.

I thought so too, so I am experimenting with it. I have found a solution, but it uses undocumented APIs to do it, which I hope I won't have to use.

I'm also impressed that people so young are so intelligent and creative. It should really pay off for you in the future. Good work, iSkythe!

If you used it in iTunes, it should begin automatically. If you did it on your iPhone, go to iTunes on your computer and click "Check for available Downloads" under store.

Well if it did work, you could download it, and it would download for free. If it didn't work, it would cost you, so do what you want

Well then something must have gone wrong with the code redemption. But it's only 99c, so it could be worse.
